About this exam
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Cardiac Interventional Radiography Certification Examination is for qualified radiologic professionals pursuing the cardiac interventional radiography credential. It assesses knowledge and judgment needed in image-guided cardiovascular procedures, rather than serving as an entry-level radiography exam. Candidates typically complete the applicable ARRT postprimary eligibility requirements, which include an eligible supporting credential and required education and clinical experience. Because eligibility details can change, review ARRT’s current requirements before planning an application.
The exam’s content covers the knowledge and patient-care decisions used in cardiac catheterization and related interventional settings. Review cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, cardiac pathology and disease processes, patient assessment and care, pharmacology and medication safety, radiation safety, imaging principles, and procedure-related concepts. Preparation is most effective when it follows the current ARRT content specifications and connects facts to clinical scenarios, such as recognizing patient risks or understanding why a procedure step is performed. Use the official candidate materials for current format and testing policies.
How to prepare for the ARRT Cardiac Interventional Radiography exam
- Use the current ARRT content specifications as a checklist, then schedule focused review sessions for cardiovascular anatomy, disease processes, patient care, and medication safety.
- Practice applying concepts to clinical scenarios and use timed question sets to identify weak areas; review the reasoning behind missed answers rather than memorizing choices.
- Confirm your postprimary eligibility, education, and clinical documentation requirements with ARRT, and check its current examination materials for policies and content updates.
